Hi there

I recently tried Linux/KDE again after 8 years of Windows only. I need to have some application shortcuts in my Java IDE, that apparently are taken globally by KDE/Plasma. Namely I need to remap Alt-F1 to Meta-F1, Alt-F2 to Meta-F2 and Ctrl-F12 to Meta-F12, so I have the Alt/Ctrl shortcuts free for my IDE.

I looked into the keyboard shortcuts in the control panel, but found nothing there. So I searched the web a bit and found an advice to use ~/.kde/share/config/plasma-appletsrc to change the Alt-F1 shortcut, but I found nothing about the other two.

So can someone lead me to some configuration file or something, to free the occupied shortcuts in question?

Thanks
Mathias

To change the Ctrl-F12 (show Dashboard) option, open up systemsettings, select "Keyboard and Mouse" and then "Global Shortcuts". Select "Plasma Workspace"as the application and modify the "Show Dashboard" shortcut.
It shows here, but I run SVN snapshots. Please confirm whether it works for you.

Thanks a bunch, I just overlooked the application dropdown in the global shortcuts panel. I feel stupid now Everything I need is there...

Thanks!
Mathias
